Jamaica Day 3 : Mayfield Falls

It's excursion time!
We wasted very little time this morning getting prepared for the day; it started with an ocean-front breakfast and some chit-chatting with the resort staff before we loaded up on the shuttle for an hour's trip into the hills of Jamaica for a day at Mayfield Falls.

This'll be best in pictures, so here.. ya go :)

Lastly,
Part 3 : LUNCH!





When the trip finally came to a close, we were dropped back off at Legends just in time to switch into dry clothes and join the small crowd already gathered in the restaurant to watch the Ned v. Arg World Cup game. I of course was rooting for the Netherlands, in honor of my Dutch sister, but witnessed their unfortunate fall to Argentina. This should make for a solid final match on Sunday when they play Germany!


What do you do after you climb through waterfalls and watch World Cup soccer in Jamaica?
-- You nap. And so we did, in our room with the balcony doors open to let in the sound of the ocean [which will never get old to me... just saying]. When we awoke, it was time for dinner, so we headed down at just about the same time Tara and Jordan arrived. It was a dinner for four, followed by a walk along the coastline and some more conversation with the locals.


I'm head over heels in love with this place.

Excursion #2 is on the books for tomorrow: Kayaking and Ziplining through the mountain forests here... and I can't wait!

See you then!
